Cracking first two overs.

Weird that they opened with Beard rather than Cook.
 
Need six big overs to finish from here. We're about two overs behind where we'd prefer to be.
 
Hopefully that isn't the end of Whiteley's season (because it would be us losing this SF). But if it is the end, then it's not one to remember. Painful season.
 
Benny is following Fuller and Whiteley in not being able to find the middle of the bat. But at least he's not chewing up balls in the process.

Need to tun this over into 170.

Bang on the 170. I guess I'll take that.

If their top three get off to a flyer, or the rain reduces the game, then I don't think we'll defend it. But if we get early wickets, and if we get most of the 20 overs, then we've got a great chance.

I'm annoyed at how rarely we went straight down the ground after McDermott got out. That looks like shorter boundary.
 
IF we make it through, and I reckon we've got about a 40% chance here (have to take early wickets), then either Donald or Albert for Whiteley in the final line-up?

Donald has a broken hand/finger (which is why Brown had to be called up to the squad, just in case Ben failed his fitness back).

I think we would stick with Whiteley, rather than recall Albert, purely because of the "if he can just come off this one time" attraction. Not saying it's what I would do.
